episode 007 - Brad Nelson - You only find your voice by using it


Listen Later

Brad Nelson wants to teach you something, but only by sharing his experience as the student. From once taking a gig in the Mail Room at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville, MI, to figuring out how to "create" community with 10,000 church goers, to curating a brilliant speakers lineup, to putting in the hours to becoming one himself - Brad is a man that wants to take you there, remembering that it is not about the destination, but how we make the journey, together.

Come join me as we listen in on his journey ... thus far :)
